Well I was just wondering, because I was watching Canada’s Worst Driver and I saw someone throw it into her purse, and I was like whoa! Couldn’t that explode?

Do they change it somehow or what?

The medical nitroglycerin is in a different chemical state. The explosive is an oily liquid, whereas the nitroglycerin used in angina treatment (also known as glyceryl trinitrate), it’s a powder.
